Latest work from the trash band coming from Wisconsin.
The album is a sound blend of trash and death metal. The album flows as violently as few others in its genre, with influences from Pantera and Slayer in the riffs, and vocally reminiscent of Sepultura.
In 2005, after the arrest of Tripp Eisen for pedophilia, they released the album "Start the War." The album is a fusion of Shadow Zone and their first brutal album "Wisconsin Death Trip" when they were still making brutal metal.
The most representative songs are the opening "The Enemy," which unleashes all the hatred for Tripp Eisen and ends with the words: "I hate you," "Start the War" used for Smackdown vs. Raw, "Skinman," "I'm Not One," a brutally raw song, and "Adios Amigos."
This album is certainly not a masterpiece, but it's a fusion of the trash metal of Shadow Zone and the brutal death of Wisconsin Death Trip—a good album overall. The four maniacs churn out without missing a beat, always renewing their trash.
I would like to conclude by saying to Tripp Eisen: Tripp Eisen, you're such a fool for getting yourself kicked out of an extraordinary group. I hope you understand. Until next time.
Tracklist and Lyrics
01 The Enemy (02:28)
-The Enemy-
Confine me it's all that I see
Sickness keeps you following me
Keep it inside, all that is sharp
Hold it inside, all that is dark
Tear
I'll shut you up
Down, down, down
I'll destroy you
Kill or be killed
Down, down, down
You've become the enemy
Enemy
I thank you for making me feel
Make me feel like I want to kill
You show me you're evil inside
Now won't you just curl up and die
Tear
I'll shut you up
Down, down, down
I'll destroy you
Kill or be killed
Down, down, down
You've become the enemy
Enemy
You make me
You make me hate
You make me
You make me hate you
03 Start a War (02:44)
Sliding spinning
Turn around
Feel my heart pound
Motor screaming
Sliding down
Got to turn it around
Danger nowhere
By myself
I burn the thrill
Claw my way out
Right now
Got to try to get out
I'll start a war with it
I'll start a war with it
I'll start a war with this fucking emotion
I'll start a war
Against you
You're one of them
You call yourself
A victim
But you're at it again
I've felt stranger
Paradise
You made me kill
Now i'm far out
Right now
Got to try to get out
I'll take it all
Give me some more
I'll take it all
04 Pieces (02:38)
I found a piece of
What I want to find
I got a taste of
What's on the outside
I feel it pounding
I feel it bending
I feel it breaking
Breaking inside me
I got
Not yet
Smash my
Fucking fist
(my frustration)
My body, my mind, my soul, and my life
So far, so near, so hard, so clear
My body, my mind, my soul, and my life
Too far to go, too high, too low
Killing me inside
Take a drink forget
Chemical passion
Drowning my defect
I feel it pounding
I feel it bending
I feel it breaking
All that is perfect
I got
Not yet
Smash my
Fucking fist
(my frustration)
My body, my mind, my soul, and my life
So far, so near, so hard, so clear
My body, my mind, my soul, and my life
Too far to go, too high, too low
Frustrated, frustrated...
05 Dirthouse (03:03)
All right
My dirthouse
Watch it happen from the box
Mind wanders
Dirty dirty word
My dirthouse
This is where it all comes down
Look into my eye
Ya feel my skin, its dirt
Drive me wild
Remember when you blew my mind?
Cut through me
Living in the dirt
These dogs are curled up in a little ball
These dogs are freezing their asses off
Go, go , go
Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I wanna call this my home
Go, go, go
Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I've got some pain of my own
(Dogs barking)
Go, go , go
Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I wanna call this my home
Go, go, go
Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I've got some pain of my own
Open the box
See whats inside
You make the call
Sick of it all, again
Open the box
See whats inside
You make the call
Sick of it all
Tear me down
Pushing on my every nerve
Scares me
I hope I don't get burnt
Look closer
Look into my dirty mind
Feeling sick inside
My blood has turned to fucking dirt
Go, go , go
Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I wanna call this my home
Go, go, go
Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I've got some pain of my own
Go, go , go
Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I wanna call this my home
Go, go, go
Go, go , go
Pick up the pieces
I've got some pain of my own
06 Skinnyman (03:40)
My little girl
Where are you?
My fucked up world
Destroyed you
Day after day
Day after day
I get it now
I just go on without you
Twisted inside
Six miles high
I rehearse how to
Say goodbye to you
Skinnyman
Turned into a monster
I'm a motherfucker
Wrap it up tight
Emotions are distorted
It's no surprise
Nothing alive
All hope has been aborted
Day after day
Day after day
I get it now
I just go on without you
Twisted inside
Six miles high
I rehearse how to
Say goodbye to you
Skinnyman
Turned into a monster
I'm a motherfucker
Inside I'm dead
All used up
Goddamn I miss her
As my skin turns yellow
I forget this hell
As the skies are bruised
And the rain comes down
As my face turns pale
Try to deal with these thoughts
At the end of it all
I still miss you
07 Just in Case (04:24)
Keep me around, waiting behind glass
In case you need, I'll be your piece of ass
Pretend to want me, string me along
Break glass if need, you can make me Crawl
'Cause you make me feel like a dog
You can see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking deep
I was strung out for such a long time (long time)
Now I own myself, yes I am mine (I am mine)
No longer will i be your just in case (your just in case)
No longer your shit do I need to taste (I need to taste)
'Cause you make me feel like a dog
You can see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking deep in the ocean
'Cause you make me feel like a dog
You can see my emotion
Is this for real?
I'm a man sinking in the ocean
I don't want to be your just in case boy
I don't want to be your just in case
oh no
10 Night Terrors (03:09)
In time I'll get this out of
Get this out of
Out of my mind
Where am I
I can't see I
fear for my life
Fear of this fright
They haunt me
And they taunt me
Try to relax
Let it happen
My hopes turn to crystal matter
Watch them shimmer
As they shatter
Night terrors in my mind
Thoughts I cannot hide
Dreams that play on my cold fears
Night terrors in my head
Am I really dead
I can't tell, it feels so real
Remember what you once said
Every passing fragile moment
Is another chance to turn it around
I want to try to work it out
Night terrors in my mind
Thoughts I cannot hide
Dreams that play on my cold fears
Night terrors in my head
Am I really dead
I can't tell, it feels so real to me
Get out of my mind
Get out of my head
I wish you were dead
I can't take it
Get out of my mind
Get out of my life
I'll curse you tonight
I just can't take it anymore
Night terrors in my mind
Thoughts I cannot hide
Dreams that play on my cold fears
Night terrors in my head
Am I really dead
I can't tell, it feels so real
Night terrors in my mind
Thoughts I cannot hide
Dreams that play on my cold fears
Night terrors in my head
Am I really dead
I can't tell, it feels so real to me
12 My Damnation (04:01)
Time to take control (I control this)
It's harder then you know (got to change this)
Feel the muscle twithc (it's electric)
When you let go
Feeling primitive (in my dark room)
Pounding in my head (creeping silence)
They will never know (all the secrets)
Better left unsaid
Always the same and
I didn't know you were
Taking what's mine I
Can see it show through
Waiting to break me
'Cause everyday it's
My damnation
Take another step (look around me)
All that I have left (taken from me)
Things I could have been (are forgotten)
haunting me again
Set in my own ways (never changing)
Make it through the day (rearranging)
Nothing more to lose (I can tell there's)
Nothing more to say
Always the same and
I didn't know you were
Taking what's mine I
Can see it show through
Waiting to break me
'Cause everyday it's
My damnation
Always to blame you
You crucified me
Leave it behind I
Can't take this hating
I'll make it go away
And everyday it's
My damnation
Go ahead
You throw the dirt
You tried
To make it hurt me
Everything, everything
Everything breaking me
Always the same
Always to blame
Always the same
Over and over it's my damnation

It is quite awesome indeed, but previous works are there, they exist, and they testify that the path taken is little or almost none.
Only one song stands out and is slightly above the average, and not coincidentally, it is the one that gives the album its name "Start a War".
By The_RockOne
'Start A War' is truly a gem to cherish, I will never get tired of listening to it.
'Start A War' is damn fun, honest as it reveals its nature right away with a futurist sheen that is extremely pleasant.
